MarketAccess

This Android application emulates the SIM card of the chosen operator and makes paid apps accessible in the Android Market. You need it if you want to buy apps and games from Market, but Market is not (yet) available in your country or for your operator.

MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. Google for details.

Changes

1.0.6

start on boot = start on SIM load, will also emulate when turning off airplane mode (and on boot since SIM is loaded on boot)

When the Superuser asks for MarketAccess shell permissions, make sure to choose Always Allow or Remember.

FAQ

Why a rewrite?

The original application contains ads and reports usage with Google Analytics eating the traffic which is rather expensive here. First I wanted to just disable these features, but while looking through the code I found it not so good. A lot of duplicate copy/pasted code in different classes, bad design, unused resources wasting device space, unused methods and even classes. There is also an update service checking for new versions on every start, even when application already supports updates via aTrackDog, so this functionality is duplicated. I was new to Android development and wanted to try my skills in perfecting some existing application.
